title: Taylor Swift Shows Her Crazy Side in New Music Video
text: Taylor Swift showed she can bring the drama in her latest music video for her new single, ”Blank Space,” which was released online Monday.
“Blank Space,” which plays up an exaggerated view of her love life and “maneater” reputation, shows the 24-year-old hosting a male suitor at a luxurious mansion, going on horseback rides, picnics on the grounds, indoor bike rides and oil painting sittings. The love story goes awry, however, and the fantasy dream girl turns into a would-be “bunny boiler” a la “Fatal Attraction.”
The pop singer's new album, “1989,” is breaking sales records, in spite of Swift having removed her hit single “Shake it Off” -- as well as her entire back catalog – from the popular streaming service Spotify.
